This is a band that I've heard much talk about and makes me really curious. From what I have read they are experimental doom/drone. People into old school metal seem to dislike them for some reason but regardless the samples ive heard sound kinda cool. Any thoughts on this band and which albums are recommended for a new listener? If you dislike their style/sound, explain why!

Agreed! Together both Sunn and Boris toured Australia, and I caught the Brisbane gig. I found it to be quite an sensory experience, sometimes yer guts would just fuckin rumble from the noise they produced, a few of us were hoping they might hit the brown note.Also we had Attila doing vox which i guess was a lucky experience for the crowd. Nice bloke too for a stoner! Ha Ha. Definetly worth checkin out live even if ya not familiar with them, Flight of the Behemoth is a worth lookin into as well.

I think they get a lotta shit because they've become popular with the trendies. But who cares. All the crappy bands that are copying them now know they're poseurs. And Sunn sounds so much better than most of the new age ambient black metal stuff I've heard._________________"Great holes secretley are digged where earth's pores ought to suffice, and things have learnt to walk that ought to crawl..."

I have respect for S. O'malley for his past work so I'm not going to talk shit. I do get the feeling that they're milking this for all its worth. I don't get it and don't want to._________________Contact: nwnprod@gmail.com

I've seen them live twice and those were pleasant experiences. One time was in an old movie theatre which still had the moviechairs in it, very relaxed to watch such a concert from a comfy chair. Second time was in Belgian's most famous small concert hall and that was ridiculously loud, it made my nose bone shake.
But on record, it's too monotome for me. I have White1 and that's basically all I need. Volume up, bass up, treble down.
